Switched my posting time from 8pm to 6am and my reach tripled in a week

Used to dump my content when I finished work, now I schedule it for early morning before people start scrolling. I tested this on my photography account for 10 days straight and saw 200 more likes on average per post. Has anyone else noticed a big difference with times of day?

Actually tested this myself on my landscape photography page. Switched from 9pm posts to around 5:45am and my average likes went from about 40 to nearly 90 within two weeks. The morning crowd seems more engaged too, they actually stop to leave comments instead of just double tapping and moving on. I think it has something to do with people checking their phones fresh faced versus being mentally drained at the end of the day. Your threefold increase is impressive though, makes me want to push my time even earlier to see what happens.

Bet you'd see even bigger gains if you tested midnight too (when the night owls and early birds overlap).

Heard a buddy of mine tried this and jumped from about 50 likes to almost 200 posting at 5am.
